bash2048

About

2048 is a single-player sliding tile puzzle video game written by Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli and published on GitHub. The objective of the game is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them to create a tile with the number 2048; however, one can continue to play the game after reaching the goal, creating tiles with larger numbers. It was originally written in JavaScript and CSS over a weekend, and released on 9 March 2014 as free and open-source software subject to the MIT License. Versions for iOS and Android followed in May 2014. bash2048 is a Bash shell-script implementation of 2048, controlled with the arrow keys. The repository is explicitly marked deprecated and no longer maintained, and the readme warns that its functionality may be broken or buggy.

How it differs from the original

Unlike the original's web/JS interface, this is a terminal implementation written entirely in Bash.

Getting started

Run the script in a terminal and control it with the arrow keys; since the project is unmaintained, expect possible bugs.
